Chapter 57 Next Door
Gu Jinyan looked at the cake that Ye Qian handed him, and was a little dazed.
What's wrong with this woman? She handed it to him and ran away.
But why does this cake look so good? It’s a palm-sized cream cake with fruit on it.
There is a very thin thing on it. I just saw Ye Qian blow it out. It is a candle.
Gu Jinyan sat where Ye Qian had just sat and took a bite of the cake in his hand.
Oh, it’s so delicious.
What kind of magical cake is this? Why is it completely different from the ones I usually eat?
At this time, Ye Qian didn't care whether Gu Jinyan ate it or not. After handing the cake to Gu Jinyan, she returned to the state-owned hotel.
What if I don't leave? Do we have to have dinner together? That would be like a dream.
That night, Ye Qian didn't sleep well and had a very long dream.
In the dream, I turned into a small sapling, buried in the soil, and slowly grew up. I was very happy when the sprouts came out.
But suddenly one day the weather changed, with strong winds and heavy rain. I drank too much water that night and almost drowned. Then the day broke and the sun came out, drying up the excess water in my body, and I was fine.
But the sun was too strong. It not only dried up the moisture on my body, but also dried myself out. My originally green branches turned withered and yellow.
At this time, people passing by splashed water on the tree's roots, and the tree slowly came back to life. Every day, it grew bigger and bigger until it could block the sunlight for others and turned into a big tree.
After waking up, Ye Qian couldn’t quite remember what she dreamed about, but she vaguely remembered a sapling and a big tree. What did this mean? Was it a sign?
In the next few days, Ye Qian wandered around outside every day just like before.
But I didn’t meet Gu Jinyan again in the next few days, which was a pity.
But unfortunately it was no use. The holiday was about to end, and Ye Qian had to buy a train ticket back to Xiaocheng today.
Today's train is at noon. Ye Qian got up late again in the morning. She didn't even have breakfast and rode her bicycle to the train station.
I had just bought the ticket and had just taken a breath when the train arrived. I have to say that Ye Qian’s timing was really good.
After getting on the train, Ye Qian hid in the toilet, then entered the space and quickly had breakfast.
At this time, Ye Qian sighed and thought it would be good to pack more food so that she could eat it directly when she wanted to.
The next afternoon, Ye Qian arrived at the station.
That's how the train station is. It's crowded when you go there, and it's still crowded when you come back.
Ye Qian went straight to the state-owned restaurant after getting off the train and ordered a dish of braised tofu and a white flour bun as the staple food.
When you see this dish, you know that the chef here has not changed, it is still the same one, and he can braise any dish.
Ye Qian sat for a while and the food came.
The food smelled delicious and Ye Qian finished it quickly.
After the meal, Ye Qian did not forget to pack up the leftovers. Of course, she also did not forget to buy a few more portions. In this era, tofu, like meat, was also an uncommon dish.
It was already dark when Ye Qian returned to the factory. There were some people in the dormitory who had not gone back home for the New Year. Everyone was walking in the laundry room, washing clothes and chatting at the same time. It felt quite lively with everyone talking to each other.
As Ye Qian listened, she realized that she had heard something, that is, Li Yue's grandmother had passed away.
It happened on the morning of New Year's Day. I don't know who spread it, but someone saw it and mentioned it when they came back.
Ye Qian quickly asked for Li Yue's home address. She didn't know if Li Yue was asleep now, so she decided to go to her home first to check.
The relationship between Ye Qian and Li Yue can’t be said to be good, nor bad, but they have lived in the same dormitory for so long, so it doesn’t matter if they don’t know each other, but since they know each other, it’s only natural for them to care about each other.
Ye Qian left the grain factory, got on her bicycle and went to the address she had just heard. Ye Qian did not expect to find it, after all, it was late at night.
When the bicycle arrived nearby, Ye Qian saw Li Yue sitting at the door with lifeless eyes from afar.
After Ye Qian put the bicycle into the space, she walked over and said, "Comrade Li Yue, I..."
Before Ye Qian finished speaking, she saw Li Yue burst into tears and hugged herself.
Maybe I could give her some sense of security at this time, so Ye Qian let her cry in his arms for a while, and the person inside came out.
He is the factory director.
The rumors that Du Xiaoli had told her before suddenly popped up in Ye Qian's mind.
Were they not going to live together?
Ye Qian knew that now was not the time to gossip, but she couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.
Fortunately, Li Yue's crying subsided at this time, and she slowly came out of Ye Qian's arms.
Ye Qian explained the reason for coming to see her this time: "I just heard about it when I got back to the factory, so I asked for your address and came to see you."
Li Yue wiped her tears and said to herself, "I'm fine."
Ye Qian thought to herself, you don’t look like you’re alright, but she wouldn’t expose you: “Well, it’s okay, just cry if you want to, you’ll feel better after you’ve cried.”
Li Yue asked him to come in and sit down, and the factory director also said, "Xiao Ye, come in and sit for a while."
Seeing that Li Yue was holding onto her tightly and not letting go, Ye Qian couldn't leave, so she replied, "Okay."
There is a photo of Grandma Li Yue hanging in the house. Now that we are getting rid of feudal superstitions and burning paper is not allowed, it is nice to hang a photo.
The three of them sat at the table and chatted for a while. It was getting late, so the factory director said he was going home. He asked Ye Qian if she had anything to do in the evening, and if so, she could stay and accompany Li Yue.
Ye Qian thought about it and agreed: "Okay, I'm fine."
Li Yue was very happy that Ye Qian could stay. After they saw the factory director out, they returned to their room.
Ye Qian also did not forget to give the gift, but Li Yue refused it. This was a matter of social interaction, and you couldn't just refuse it. It would be so ignorant of Li Yue to not give the gift after she came.
The two of them lay together and chatted at night.
Li Yue thought for a moment and then asked, "You've heard about the trend in the factory, right?"
Ye Qian didn't expect Li Yue to ask so directly. She didn't know how to answer for a moment, but after a while, she answered truthfully: "Yes."
Li Yue smiled and said, "Just now at the door, you were stunned for a moment when you saw the factory director coming out. I knew you must have heard the rumors in the factory."
Ye Qian was a little embarrassed at this time: "Well, I did hear some things when I first came here, but you were crying so sadly just now, you still had time to observe me."
Li Yue smiled and said, "It's better after crying."
"Yeah, it'll feel better after crying." Ye Qian said.
Li Yue was puzzled: "Aren't you going to ask what's going on?"
Ye Qian joked, "What if I know something I shouldn't know, and you kill me today to silence me? Today is such a great opportunity."
Ye Qian was really joking, because when the two of them were sending the factory director off together, they heard Li Yue calling the factory director "uncle".
Li Yue explained: "The factory director is my uncle, but we are not related. Besides, he lives next door to me."
Ye Qian was stunned: "What, it's right next door."
